Weaponized Dogs! Legal Conditions and Consequences!

Today's show is prompted by a news report of an Ohio woman just sentenced to two years in prison for having sicced two of her Pitt Bulls on a group of children, resulting in one 6-year-old girl requiring multiple emergency surgeries as a result of bites to her head and body. There are, of course, circumstances in which using a dog as a weapon could be perfectly lawful.  How does the law distinguish between the use of a dog as a weapon versus the use of any other defensive tool, such as a gun or pepper spray? #PittBulls #PittBullAMERICAN LAW COURSESGet a law-school level education in typical first-year (1L) law classes, including criminal law, constitutional law, evidence, property, and more, at a fraction of the cost and time of law school, and without any of the political toxicity of today's law schools.
